Howie Mandel Rushed to Hospital

Sources tell TMZ Howie Mandel was rushed to a Toronto hospital Monday night after suffering severe chest pains.

Cops tell us they found Howie conscious and breathing at around 7 PM in the elevator of the Sheraton Hotel on Queen Street. According to sources, Mandel was taken to St. Michael's Hospital. There are reports he complained of an irregular heartbeat earlier Monday.

We're told Mandel is spending the night in the hospital and being treated for an irregular heartbeat.

Howie was in Toronto taping his new show, "Howie Do It."

Story developing...


UPDATE: It appears it isn't a heart attack. Someone who works closely with Howie tells us NBC has been working him like a mutha to get this new show done and dude's just flat exhausted. He could be out today.

91. Having palpitations and irregular heart beats even if you have no hole in the heart is prevalent to people under stress, my daughter's heart valves slam shut and cause this. She is an insomniac which adds to regular teen stress...Lack of sleep and normal stress add up to bad heart beats.

92. Get well Howie! I have this condition and had to get a pacemaker to regulate a lifelong heart defect. It is a scary and uncomfortable condition that you just can't fake.

As for the hate here...GROW UP and CHANGE the channel, you don't have to watch...

94. Howie was my favorite character on St. Elsewhere. He is pretty good as a TV game show host. I hope this is not a serious condition.
